Chalrcin Charles W. Taylor Has Cocpflcd Interesting Statls-
 tics ShowIng How Benefits pi Come.
" Barn ' tBteretrtlnf flcura have bean
prepared by Cbarlas W. .tyyloy ohair-
maq of tha oommlUe that had ehars of
tha aatoettoa af a alt for th South
Texaa IBxpoalUon ahowlns com of th
direct and Indirect reeulU la dollar sad
cent that may be expeotad to com to
Houston and Harris County through uoh
an eipoeltlon.- ' '' -
Tha announcement made that Mayor-
elect Campbell and the City Commli-alonara-elect
at th meeting; of the
Mo-tau-Oh dlreotor. had renewed their
pledges to support tha proposition of at
municipally owned- oxpoeiUon Is taken
a practically ' conclusive guarantee
that the exposition will be aucoessfully
Inaugurated on a soal that will be cred-
itable to Houston and th Stata of Texas.
Mr. Taylor asld. "It aaems to be a
'poeltlv certalaty that tha exposition
will now ho built. While there was lit-
tle doubt In tha minds of any of us
that Mr. Campbell and the newly elected
eommlasionera would Indorse and sup-
port th proposltlbn. It I neverthelese a
source or much satisfaction to receive
uch joiUv Mwanoa of support.
X -' iMasna Muoh . to County.
. "Think for a moment what this expo-
Hlon must men . to Houston. Harris
County and. Indeed all of th Texas
ooast oountryl In Harrl County alone
there are 1.1M.0M acres of land of
whloh only 14 per oent Is under cultiva-
tion and thl Includes tha town sites.
This leaves approximately MS. 000 acres
of land that Is absolutely unimproved.
Of course a small portion of this uncul-
tivated land Is possibly unfit for agrl-
.oultaral purposes but 25 per cent of that
whloh Is now Idle could be eliminated a
.unfit rand foav pasturage -"purposes and
there would etQl - remain 74250 acre
that are available for truck farms and
with adequate produotiveneas to Justify
the effort.. .
"A 'very lew eetlmate of th net pro-
duoUon par aor of this land would be
IIS this being tl leea than given by
National' statistics for Texas lands tha
amount produced by the 750000 acres
would produce outright $11248760 and
apportioning 64 acres which Is mors
than la required to each family would
increase the population of the county
by 7120 if w allow four to the famUy.
Please bear In mind that the product of
these truck farms could be marketed
right here at home. The vast aum that
we annually expend for potatoes alone
would help to do great things in ths
way of Improving horn conditions. Th
fact that th farmer does not find It
necessary to send his products to a for-

T.U. LUBBOCK
WITH THE DEAD
Oldest Native Born Honstonian Will

Captain Lubbock saw service through-
out the war in Virginia Tennessee Ken-
tucky and Texas.
Following the close of the war. Captain
Lubbock engaged In the commission busi-
ness In Houston for nearly SO years tak-
ing a prominent part in the stirring In-
cidents of the trying reconstruction
period.

Interest In Btate and local politics serv-
ing as alderman under various adminis-
trations and as State Senator in the

LAND" VALUES
lga market la on of tha' meat helpful
feature of tha buslnees. Th cost of
transportation togetnar with the auma
paid In commissions serve to greatly
reduo th .net earning on Ui farm.
Thl would very largely attract pros-
pective settler to Harrl County for th
market could b found right her.
Tax Value t . Inereaae.
"Another fact worthy of consideration
would bs th large Increase In tax values
throughout the county. .While th In-
crease . la productlvaneas of th county
contiguous to Houston ' ha bean lea
than .one-half of 1 per cent per annum
for tha last 10 years and the Increase
in population throughout th county has
been less than t per oent per annum
land values  have increased more than
200 per cent In the last 10 years.
"Now thl increase has largely been
duo to a recognition of the dormant poa-
slbllltles of the soil. If we put on ah
exposition that will give ocular proof
of the productiveness of- th soil no
trouble will be experienced In inducing
investment here. Thl Inereaae of popu-
lation increase of production and stimu-
lation of local activities generally will
also serve to make the land mora valu-
able and place the average prloe of land
today at f40 per acre. Thar is no ques-
tion but that this oould be readily In-
creased to ISO per acre In a ehort time
which would mean an Inereas In tax-
able values of fag.MO.OOO. th revenues
from which would grade every road shell
It and drain the country without one
penny of additional expanse to th
county.
PoMiallltl Are Stupendous.
. "All .these statistics may not appeal as
bain- practical." continues Mr. Taylor
"but this is th only way for us' to take
a business look Into th future.' Thar Is
not on stngl tatement mad here that
la inaccurate and tha possibilities are so
stupendous that they justify us In doing
all that Is in our power to build th
exposition at one.
"The Urn for boos tin- is her and the
spirit of those in power shows that they
are alive to the situation. lAt's all pufl
together. Attempt great thing aad as-
pect greater things. Undoubtedly we
will find It necessary to Issu bond for
this project but the cost of such an
issue will be Insignificant a compared
with the benefit that will accrue. The
man who knock tba proposition Is but
a clog In tha wheels of pro areas and
unworthy of consideration for one mo-
ment. Let the slogan be TuU together
